Limenitis bredowii (Arizona Sister)

Synonyms: Adelpha bredowii; Adelpha eulalia

Wikipedia Abstract

Adelpha eulalia, commonly known as Arizona Sister, is a species of butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is occurs from at least Guatemala and Mexico to the southwestern United States, including southeastern California, Arizona, New Mexico, southern Texas. They can also sometimes be found in Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. Adelpha eulalia belongs to the serpa species-group in the genus Adelpha (sisters). It was previously treated as a subspecies of Bredow's Sister (Adelpha bredowii). Recent phylogenetic studies, however, conclude that morphological, geographical, and genetic evidence make it clear that it's a separate species.
